My partner and I are (very likely) leaving San Francisco for New York in July/August 2025. I moved to San Francisco around September 2022 and enjoyed my time here… I never dreamed of living in the US, let alone in this beautiful city. I’ll be endlessly grateful for how I’ve flourished as an artist, designer, person, field recordist, birder, sound experimentalist, etc. here; I’ll want to come back to live again here someday, and I know I’ll have many regrets about not making the “most” out of that city, in the infinite ways that could mean.
For now, I’d love to see you while I’m here, especially if we’ve only seen each other at passing group events or never had time 1:1 before.
Especially interested in: Art & technology (new media, whatever), the ”poetic web” and designing tools & spaces for a more intentional internet, design, faith as infrastructure, hypertext, experimental literature, indie games (playing/making), sound art, building new institutions for Southeast Asian tech & art ecosystems… I’m also thinking about tools for worlding, creativity, atmosphere-making as applied to creative tooling, games, and simulations 🙂
What we can do: Coffee or drinks, art event/opening or film + drinks, music events, tech events, organize an art/technology event together or dinner with a group of friends (especially if no one knows each other!). I’m generally around the east side of the city (Mission/Bernal Heights/Potrero/Dogpatch/Downtown) — but also happy to meet midway or explore other areas.
Adjacently, if you have recommendations for group events/scenes that you think I would be interested in, I would love to explore a bit…
